Manchester United has set its sights on Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Matheus Cunha as part of their strategy to enhance their attacking lineup this summer. The Brazilian striker, who has a £62.5 million release clause in his contract with Wolves, is anticipated to depart Molineux at the season's end.

Cunha, who has netted 16 goals across all competitions this season, making him Wolves' leading scorer, is considered a perfect fit for the attacking midfield roles in United's preferred 3-4-2-1 formation. His current performance under Wolves' manager Vitor Pereira has showcased his adaptability and skill in a similar tactical setup.

However, Manchester United is not alone in their pursuit. Premier League rivals including Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle are also in the race to secure a forward this summer, setting the stage for a competitive transfer window.

Despite his impressive goal-scoring record, Cunha's disciplinary issues, including two red cards this season leading to six missed games, might raise concerns among potential suitors. In a recent interview, Cunha expressed his desire to 'take the next step' in his career, aiming to compete for titles beyond his current achievements with Wolves.

The financial aspect of United's transfer strategy remains uncertain. The club's potential earnings from this season's Europa League and their final position in the Premier League could significantly impact their transfer budget. Following a recent defeat to Wolves, United's coach Ruben Amorim highlighted the club's plans for squad improvement, emphasizing that significant changes would likely wait until the summer transfer window.

As the summer approaches, all eyes will be on Manchester United and their moves in the transfer market, with Matheus Cunha being a key target in their quest to revitalize their squad and enhance their competitive edge in the Premier League.
